King Crimson

In June 2017, when King Crimson took the stage at The Chicago Theatre, they were riding high on a wave of renewed energy and creativity. Just a couple of years prior, in 2015, the band released *Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind*, a project that served as both a live album and a way to showcase their revamped lineup. This iteration of King Crimson featured legendary guitarist Robert Fripp alongside a powerhouse of musicians, including Mel Collins and Gavin Harrison, breathing new life into their expansive catalog. It's fascinating to consider that *Starless*, the track performed during this live recording, initially appeared on the band’s 1974 album *Red*, representing a pinnacle of their progressive rock era. By 2017, they were not only revisiting classic material but also demonstrating their ability to evolve, making each performance feel fresh and electrifying. What a thrilling blend of nostalgia and innovation, wouldn't you say?
